We REALLY Understand The Problems You Are Facing.
Where do you start with a build – is it with a local contractor or an architect, perhaps? What about getting trapped with spiralling design fees costing many thousands of pounds and then still having no idea how much your build will cost?
From navigating everything from planning challenges to managing costs, architectural, structural and engineering services design – there are just some of the many ways that projects can go wrong.
We offer an alternative way forward. By us leveraging our existing designs and organising a Budget Cost Plan for you, we can get you to a point of understanding the expected costs of your build for a minimal cost.

Budget Cost Plan
A Budget Cost Plan
will provide you with
a comprehensive assessment
of the likely build costs.
Dealing with Neat Living has been an enjoyable experience. The fundamental attraction was their ethos, they understood what we wanted to achieve and were happy to build on ideas.
Communication was always good and planning was incredibly straightforward due to their forward planning and professionalism. All in all, they are a delight to deal with!
Budget Cost Plan
The logical first step on your self-build journeyWhat is a Budget Cost Plan?
The Budget Cost Plan is a document which includes all of the expected costs of your build, based on available information – such as the design drawings. The costs are established through what is called an elemental build-up, meaning that all the different elements of the project are considered.
The plan brings together not only the costs of your timber kit from Neat Living but also the other construction and fit-out costs, which will be undertaken by a local contractor.
The plan is prepared by an independent Quantity Surveyor and uses local construction rates – appropriate for the site location. A budget cost plan is the logical starting point for understanding your project costs.
Why you need a Budget Cost Plan (before you start)
If you are asking the question, “How much will my project cost?” then this is where a Budget Cost Plan can really help you.
To put it succinctly, it allows you to get an early handle on costs and make an early “stop” or “go” decision before incurring additional design or planning-related costs. Once you have your completed Budget Cost Plan you can proceed to the next steps – design and planning permission.
Are you curious about finding out how much it will cost to build your house? A Budget Cost Plan is needed to gain an informative understanding of costs prior to undertaking other aspects, such as ground surveys, planning and undertaking detailed design. Reasonable allowances, which are called provisional sums, can be made for items not designed at this stage.
Budget Cost Plan Layout
Your Budget Cost Plan is tailored to your chosen Neat Living design and includes relevant local costs for the various elements. Supplied in pdf format.
Allowances can be made for contingencies and unknown items, at this stage.

The Top Three Benefits Of A Budget Cost Plan
No. 1 The Construction Cost
Do you want to know what your construction costs could be? The plan generates the initial high-level expected costs for undertaking your build. Allowances can be made for items that are not fully designed at this stage.
No. 2 Funding
The plan provides essential information that allows you to decide on options to fund your project, either self-funding or financing via a self-build mortgage. If you are thinking of applying for a self-build mortgage, you will need to provide details about expected construction costs – and an independently prepared budget cost plan will be able to provide details about these costs.
No. 3 Convenience
Neat Living takes care of all of the complex work behind the scenes and will generate the background information for the project, prepare the budget cost plan and have it delivered to you for your consideration.
Even More Reasons For Choosing Neat Living!
1. Securing planning. A pre-application is followed by a full application for planning with the local authority. As more local authorities are tasked with delivering more energy-efficient homes, we provide a reason why your local authority should support your selected Neat Living design.
2. Obtaining a Building Warrant. We organise the detailed design work as part of our One-Stop-Shop solution, making it convenient and cost-effective for you.
3. Best value in the market. Once all of the information is assembled we’ll then organise competitive tenders using a specialist and independent quantity surveyor. This is a critical stage as the contractors know that they are pricing competitively against others. We work for you to obtain the best value possible in the market.
In summary – everything is completed in small stages, which keeps the costs down. Most importantly there is a structured approach to get the best possible value for money and minimise your risk as we obtain competitive bids based on comprehensive detailed design information.
We’re not done yet. Yes, there is more!
If you have any site-specific information such as photographs or videos or anything else that you think is relevant, you can send this to us ahead of our One-to-One meeting.
